READER POLL: Raid our cellar!
In preparation for our holiday issue, we’re unlocking our cellar of aged winter brews and asking your advice: Which brews should we pop open? We’ve selected 11 candidates; vote on the one you’d most like to see our panel of experts taste, and the three winners will appear in our November/December issue.
A few notes from our beer editor, Chris Staten: “I’m interested to see how the two Jubelales have aged; since we have two, we can test how well it cellars. Still, the 2008 may have already passed its prime—same with Winter Welcome; two years is a lot for a 6%-ABV beer. Noel could be cool; it’s a dubbel-style, and at 9% ABV, it should have a lot of nice dark fruit notes, plus, it’d be interesting to see how the Belgian yeast has fared. But I’m most intrigued by Gift of the Magi; I’d love to see how the delicate flavors of a 10% biere de garde have stood up over the past two years. Still, I’m willing to open whatever I’m told!”
